You're right, I think the discussion about Girls itself has gotten way blown out of proportion, but I think it can be valuable in that it broaches some much needed topics for discussion.  Gender roles for one, discussing both the continued struggles of women, as well as the growing identity crisis of men who I think…

I think you make a good point.  Again, I'm talking more about what "Girls" is perceived to be, than what it really is, based on motives which I tried to explain or contextualize.  The point you make raises another issue with why many of the criticisms against "Girls" and "Tiny Furniture" have been unfair…because they…

An excellent point.  I didn't want to deviate too much from my original post, but your comment reflects a major problem, which is all this talk about authenticity, which itself has become fraught with problems as well…what is it, who has it?  A prime example are the much discussed "hipsters," who seemingly strive for…

Remember when Hugh Laurie was on Blackadder, and he was funny?  Neither do I.

Hmmmm, this may be a stretch, but the impression I get from this article is that, maybe, just maybe, when you've got a 200 million dollar effects heavy picture, you should, possibly consider hiring a director with, idunno, experience or something working on such a picture.  But that's just me.
